Ep.186 - Broken Sword (PC)
"Paris in the fall, the last months of the year, at the end of the millennium..."So begins the first Broken Sword game (AKA The Shadow of the Templars AKA Broken Sword 1), this game where George Stobbart avoids death in a bomb blast at a café in a trap set by a clown then decides to find out what on earth caused this to happen, triggering all manner of point and clicking around Paris, Ireland, Syria and other locations. It's held in very high regard by all, and both Ashley and Chris have great memories of the game, so give it a listen to find out whether it holds up!Link mentioned in this episode:How Broken Sword was ported to the Game Boy Advance - EurogamerCome join us on all the usual socials - follow, like, share, subscribe, rate, review and all that, if you please:

Ep.185 - South Park (Nintendo 64)
In the heady days of 1998, with Y2K looming large on the horizon, Napster nary a whisper in the ears of two Seans (or Shawns, depending which one you ask) and Pokémon registering as but a distant rumble for anyone in the West, Matt Stone and Trey Parker were just about hitting their stride in putting the world to rights and making fart jokes with South Park. And then they went and made a game called South Park on the N64, and now we're here, in 2024, telling you if it's any good or not. What a journey!Come join us on all the usual socials - follow, like, share, subscribe, rate, review and all that, if you please:

Ep.184 - Tomb Raider 2 (Sony PlayStation)
To mark the recent release of Tomb Raider 1, 2 and 3 Remastered, Chris takes Ashley down into some deep dark tombs to do some raiding in Tomb Raider 2. Yes, the remastered collection came out two months ago now. Yes, we only did the first one last year. Yes, we hated it when we played it. What a pair of little scamps we are! The sequel was touted as being bigger and better than the first one in every sense so listen in to find out whether we finally get what all the fuss is about.

Ep.183 - Project Zero 2 (Sony PlayStation 2)
We're back! After a month or so off, we're coming back this week with Project Zero 2, a survival horror game that gave Ashley the willies back in 2003 when he played it and some spooky goings-on happened during gameplay. Using a camera, your objective is to take photos of ghosts as you explore a mysterious village in order to bust them. Did it make us feel good? Listen in to find out!

Ep.182 - Tekken 3 (Sony PlayStation)
Biff! Bang! Pow! This week, we're re-appraising Tekken 3, this game where a mystic beast gets unleashed and the only way to appease it is to stage a fighting competition. This is one of the big daddies of fighting games yet Chris hated it as a nipper - what will him and Ashley make of it nowadays?

Ep.181 - Super Mario Sunshine (Nintendo GameCube)
We are capping off this year's Mario and Sonic saga with a relaxed trip down memory lane, on to Memory airport where we will catch a short flight over the Memory ocean and come to land on Isle Delfino, along with all our Mushroom Kingdom pals. Then we'll watch as Mario gets banged up abroad for being a hooligan. I don't know where I'm going with this, but I do know that this week's game is Super Mario Sunshine. Is it still any good? Listen in and find out!

Customer Reviews
Besties meets Cane and Rinse
In short; it''s the loveable banter of from 'The Besties' podcast meets the critique quality of "Cane and Rinse." An essential podcasst for the gamer out there.
The interesting thing this podcast does from others, though, is where Chris and Ashley give both their preconceived notions/impressions on a game(along with a brief summary of the history and context of the game's existence), and their first impressions after playing the game with the two opinions separated by a break in the middle as they go and actually play the game they are reviewing.
